The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - libdwarf: heap-based buffer over-read in dwarf_formsdata() (CVE-2017-9055)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in dwarfdump in libdwarf 20130126 through 20140805 might allow remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (program crash) via a crafted ELF file. (CVE-2014-9482)

  - dwarf_leb.c in libdwarf allows attackers to cause a denial of service (SIGSEGV). (CVE-2015-8538)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in dwarfutils, a tool and library for reading/consuming and writing/producing DWARF debugging information. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following issues :

CVE-2015-8538

A specially crafted ELF file can cause a segmentation fault.

CVE-2015-8750

A specially crafted ELF file can cause a NULL pointer dereference.

CVE-2016-2050

Out-of-bounds write

CVE-2016-2091

Out-of-bounds read

CVE-2016-5034

Out-of-bounds write

CVE-2016-5036

Out-of-bounds read

CVE-2016-5038

Out-of-bounds read

CVE-2016-5039

Out-of-bounds read

CVE-2016-5042

A specially crafted DWARF section can cause an infinite loop, reading from increasing memory addresses until the application crashes.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 20120410-2+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your dwarfutils packages.
